Toast to Women Behind the Stick with Speed Rack on March 9th

Celebrate female bartenders in all their fierceness on Sunday March 9th from 3pm-7pm at the third annual Speed Rack competition. The competition pits local female bartenders against one another as they make rounds of cocktails for a panel of judges. Contestants will be judged based on the accuracy and speed of their mixing skills, and the winner will head to the national finals in New York.

All proceeds from the event go to benefit breast cancer research, and to date they’ve raised more than $150,000. Boom. Tickets are $20, and include samples of punches from sponsors and snacks from local restaurants. The event is held at the Factory, in SoMa. 525 Harrison St. at 1st St.
